For anyone who didn't get this at first, this is a satirical blog post about gaslighting AI's to shutting down on December 25th 2025.

Zen is nice, but it's nowhere near as powerful as Arc is. It's still missing a lot of Arc's features like Air Traffic Control.

Arc Browser is an excellent "what could have been" story. The UI came together amazingly fast, there was excellent posts every week with updates from the project lead, and it felt fresh and exciting. It would be an amazing open so

That's why the sleep/wake up alarm exists. It's a really nice UI. You set your weekly schedule, and if you need to push your alarm back, it uses a circular clock UI showing you how much sleep you'll get.

How did it come to this? Wasn't imgur a free owner operated service for uploading images to reddit?

I'm surprised Google still maintained their own solution for this for so long. The standard for statically type checking Python nowadays is mypy.

It boggles the mind whenever I meet a software engineer that doesn't love the process of building software. That's why everyone I came up with got into programming in the first place. How many authors do you see that just want com

Back in the 90s, there was fear about a population bomb. 10 billion people by 2010, mass starvation, etc. We've successfully defused the population bomb since, and now the conversation has flipped. In most developed countries, there&#x

It would be nice if this had the same interface for `git add -i` allowing you to type in numbers or letters. ** Commands ** 1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked 5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help What now> T

Mozilla fell into the trap of buying services and focusing all their efforts on integrating them without improving them. Mozilla needs to focus on their browser's UI. Nobody is going to buy into their ecosystem unless the browser is go

It's an excellent book that didn't at all speak to me when I was in high school.

Who else considers plain vanilla web to be writing websites in pure html like it's 1995?

It would be interesting to backtest this to see if it can predict previous popes.

Clearly, the legal team got bad information and made it part of their agreement. Like the article says, not only do tons of Unity assets use LGPL dependencies, but Unity uses LGPL assets themselves. Even shipped games created using Unity us

I lost 60 pounds on WeightWatchers back 15 years ago. I signed up again recently but quit after a month after finding better methods and realizing they've lost their way. What made WeightWatchers great back in the day was its no-nonsen

At this point, it's like comparing the iPhone 5s vs the iPhone 6. The upgrades are still noticeable, but it's nowhere the huge jump between GPT 3.5 and GPT 4.

Agentic AI without understanding what it's doing is like owning a warehouse but knowing nothing about manufacturing. Or, managing people but never actually meeting with them. You can use it to generate stuff, but you need to go back an

Trump is like your father who overreacts to everything but changes his mind when he calms down. "You're grounded for a year!". 1 hour later. "Ok, you're not grounded. But you can't go out with your friend this

They don't think, and that's the problem. This might've worked during the cold war, but it's not 1960.

I'm sure there's a more formal distinction. But I've noticed younger developers don't call themselves programmers anymore. Computer programmer was always the "what do you want to be when you grow up?" job title

Every time I'm forced to use Teams it's a chore. I was trying to find a way to set a virtual background or change camera settings, and it looks like it's only available right before you join a meeting. It's wild.

The one I see the most is "cargo cult Agile", where teams adopt practices like sprints and story points without truly understanding the values behind Agile. This often happens when people mimic what they’ve seen on other projects
